Glorious boots. That leather looks fantastic, the depth of colour and the varaiations are really eye-catching.
The pull up on this leather is something else.

Those are some seriously badass boots @teddyjay. Please post more pics as you start to break them in!

just talking 'shit kickers' with @neph93 on the Viberg thread prompted me to post a pic of my custom Jobmasters 1 year down the line.
These have been extensively worn in the colder seasons and are developing a nice patina, having just been cleaned and oiled the once

thanks gents… I reckon you'd be needing the gripper vibram 100 soles to cope with your environment Ruben!!

Oh you're right, it is necessary for large parts of the year also the #430 mini-lug does ok too.
I really should take pics to show you, but it will have to wait. I have a pair of black rough out boss on the #100, a pair of black oil tan MP toe Boss on the #430 mini-lug, olive Morrisons on the #430 mini-lug, and two pairs of MP Boss on the #705 in rough out burlap and brown domain. The new pair will be a secret until they arrive.
The idea (apart from collecting beautiful boots), is to have pairs for exclusively for summer, exclusively for winter, and a couple of all year round pairs. Some are shit kickers/beaters, some are for when I want to play dress up

IHTB-BRDOLV: My single Wesco pair, jobmaster in olive burlap and brown domain. Scarred and dusty from corral duty. Burlap is a supremely soft & pliable leather, perfect for a comfortable upper.

@neph93 Double mids, 100’s, and fully lined are awesome to keep your feet warm in the winter. They are stiff with a long break in. Fantastic when they are.
I too have summer boots (single, unlined), and winter boots. Singles are great feel under foot, but don’t keep my feet warm when it’s -20. Double’s lose the sensitivity walking on ice/snow but the warmth is worth it.

I've always been very jealous of all you Wesco owners so I have finally placed my first order.
8" Packer
British Tan Domain, brown stitching, black eyelets no speed hooks.
Double white outsole stitching
Do not ink soles and heels
#700 SoleAfter agonising over Jobmasters, Johannes' and Hendrik's that we have in stock, I finally had the opportunity to try one of the upcoming Blackways Packers and boom, perfect fit and the western toe is totally for me. They can't come soon enough!

Can’t wait to see your tan domain packers @Graham . I’ve lusted for packers for years now…curious about how the arch support feels on them.
Blackways Packers????? Tell us more.

My first pair were oil-tanned double mids, intended as an all round boot but with a an eye on winter. They are warm, tackle the moisture well, and the double mids and full heel keep your up in the snow, but I found the lack of flexibility, even when broken in, to be a problem on ice. The stiffness negates the gripping effect of the lugs. It was a great excuse to buy these:
